SNAPFORWARD

Strong holiday sales for Kohl’s and five straight quarters of positive sales increases since launching their three-year Greatness Agenda turnaround plan were the highpoints in a decidedly mixed bag of FY15 results (FYE 1/20/16). Store plans for 2016 include opening the second and third Off/Aisle discount-store locations, opening 12 Fila outlet stores in a bid to test the outlet waters, and the closure of 18 Kohl’s units, the first time in its 52-year history that Kohl’s will be closing multiple locations in one go. Locations will be announced in March. As the chart shows, Kohl’s is in need of significant sales growth in the next two years to reach the Greatness Agenda sales goal of $21 billion in 2017 they set for themselves in 2014.
